SETON HARVEST Competitors

Our mission is simple: We are seeking to alleviate hunger in northeast Indiana through the full use of donated food and other resources. Community Harvest Food Bank has been serving northeast Indiana for over 40 years as the largest single provider of charitable food resources to nearly 400 pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters and other member agencies. What began as an emergency food distribution operation from the beds of pick-up trucks, that brought food aid to workers impacted by the International Harvester closure, has grown into a sophisticated food distribution operation providing assistance to nearly 100,000 individuals per year. Our Childhood Hunger initiative is focused on improving the food security and nutrition of school aged young people. Our Feeding Seniors initiative helps low-income seniors that are homebound and unable to travel to secure the food they need. Our Healthy Families initiative fights hunger experienced by working families. In fact, the most recent study conducted by Feeding America (2017) found that 29% of households served by Community Harvest Food Bank exceed 185% of the poverty line and are not eligible for federal nutrition assistance programs. Community Harvest Food Bank distributes more than 13 million pounds of food, and engages over 7,800 volunteers annually. Our nine-county service area includes Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wells, and Whitley counties.

Two decades since the first Green House homes opened, THE GREEN HOUSE® Project (GHP) has come to be recognized as the leader in creating high-quality, cost-effective, and sustainable human-scale alternatives to the traditional nursing home. Now formally aligned with our partners at Pioneer Network, a fellow eldercare reform organization dedicated to changing the culture of long-term care communities, GHP means much more than simply building a small house: it's a one-stop organization committed to creating the next generation of services and supports for all elders.
